The more mid to large scale sites that threaten this / actually implement it the better. Forces to issue to the front of the public and or media outlets. Which might be enough to slap the Government in the face about this moronic policy.

Aren’t we all required to have VPNs anyway?
Kinda too late to threaten.

Do it Wikipedia! Google should do it too.
Starmer has proven himself unfit to govern with this dumbness. I know it’s harsh but some policies are just unforgivably poor.

Sadly we all just use the AI assistant now and that mostly draws its answers from Wiki or sources that copied them anyway.

Please do it Wikipedia.
We need big organisations to do this to let the UK know how dark an authoritarian path we’re going down. If they threaten and then don’t follow through, that just adds to the argument of people who say there has been a lot of fuss but it’s not a big deal really.

Oh look, Torygraph comments are full of people proclaiming Wikipedia is biased and full of lies and how it deserves to disappear… It’s identical to the Trump acolites when they didn’t like the truth.
Probably should, most of it’s fake, fiction or straight up wrong or simply a copy from Google. Anyone remember an entire school having nearly every student fail exams because most used the site, directed there by search engines.

PLEASE DO IT
Our Govt. needs to learn that draconian bullshit has legitimate real world harmful impact.
Wikipedia is a fantastic project and a clear demonstration of how people can work together to build information, exercise free speech, thoughts and ideas, and have it ratified by a consensus model of accuracy review
We’re opting out of many of those elements of the free web, and it needs to have real consequences.

I hope companies continue to push back against the online safety act, it’s fucking stupid and at best it was written by out of touch old people who don’t know how the internet works and at worst it’s a data stealing and surveillance scheme.

Ahh yes let’s implement more bureaucracy and useless bloat to spend more tax payer money

Just signed hopefully the government realises how foolishly pointless this actually is or get embarrassed enough by big companies being very vocal about said stupidity.

I’m not against some form of age verification however the way it’s been implemented is so troubling…
There should be some kind of national verification system. Using third party services is asking for trouble down the line..
Even Reddit has implemented an Age Verification system using a company based in San Francisco who say they’ll delete data after a small period of time… But who actually knows.

I noticed [this psychological study](https://www.psypost.org/trump-supporters-report-higher-levels-of-psychopathy-manipulativeness-callousness-and-narcissism/) showing evidence that Trump supporters are scientifically measurable as arseholes, I wonder what would they make of tory and reform supporters.
